Simon Whitehead is synonymous with ferrets, ferreting and rabbit catching. His Pakefield Ferrets not only provide the service for his profession in order to provide for his family but have taught Simon a valuable lesson about how and why when you are as only as good as your animals, they have to be good. In this UA-cam channel Simon, his Pakefield Ferrets, dogs and friends will share not only his passion for the countryside, the food it provides, the experience and life lessons it gives but also Simon's other media orientated interests.

Muntjac stalking in Suffolk

A brief glimpse into the work that is carried out, almost unnoticed, by a deer manager in Suffolk, England. All of the venison that is harvested goes into the food chain as venison is one of the most sustainable and healthiest meats we have in the UK.

Tawny

At the 2019 Game fair, to be held at Hatfield House (July 26th -28th) I will be releasing a hour long film about Tawny. A compilation of the good and bad bits of her life so far, including a brutally honest narrative by myself. The worth of a good lurcher is often overlooked, a good rabbiting dog even more so. Rarely seen for sale, the breeding, training and entering of these types of dogs can ...

Not many men would do this for his ferrets respect
another video ruined by the pathetic music through it..
It is all too easy for people to forget that rabbit management is also a kindness to the rabbit... When overpopulation leads to disease and dysfunction, mere existence becomes a far more grim prospect.. given the option of a brief chase followed by swift, humane dispatchment as opposed to a long, protracted dying wracked with sickness and malaise, I know which of the two I’d choose..
You cant beat rabbit and chips .
I no longer keep ferrets or go ferreting due to health but my ferrets were feed rabbit for the first year before I worked them
an understanding of our place in nature and a respect for your prey thank you
This is brilliant.
Rabbit cassoulet is a filling dish that is popular in france, it is very nice
I wish Clarissa was still with us.She was the ultimate ambassador of Fieldsports and took no prisoners … huge knowledge of food history.
Great stuff
Cracking dog work
When I was going up my families tradition was going rabbit hunting every thanksgiving.
I love rabbit! My local market stopped carrying it after some complaints. It's the absolute BEST meat there is! Lean....fat free...fantastic for those with issues when eating pork or beef.
Ferreted 4o years never dug a ferret never will i breed weasel ferrets bloodlines from mi grandads pit days ,i a full time rabbit chatcher,and iam cotracted to breed ferrets,for kent ferreters ,robert who work 68,000 arecs
Simon congrats on Middlesbrough's win on the pens today, I have been watching videos about ferrets for nearly two years now, and yearn to get some and get in about ferreting, Your videos have nailed exactly what im looking to do with my adult life, I would love to be able to have a chat with you, and hope that maybe there's a way I can reach you, hopefully you see this comment and would be kind enough to get in touch, I imagine you lead a hectic and busy life, Ferrets, Familly and Farmy outdoors stuff. it won't stun me if there isn't a reply. But id kick myself if I didn't try. Let me know, maybe we can communicate.
Of course, thanks for your kind words. Mail me, contact@simon-whitehead.com
Perfect example
Brilliant film Simon. Very inspiring thank you
You do have a point Clarissa . As always the wise lady that you are . I’ve even had frogs legs in France and personally if you can eat a snail you should be able to eat this god bless sweety
*was. Clarissa died a few years ago
Go to hell, awful murder
Great stuff thank you
Great video Simon!!
Amazing mate keep up the good work
What is the make and model of that rifle? Also, what's the caliber?
I wonder how much food and water a rabbit gets through per life span and compared to poultry and cattle , though I don’t know it would be more economical with resources
The poor old girl didn’t look well nor presentable in this show
With respect, this show isn’t about the “poor old girl’s” appearance but is instead about her brilliant mind, her wry wit and her vast knowledge of food, cooking and gastronomic expertise. The planet lost a lot with her untimely demise.
So only red lips and big tits are good to host tv shows?
I remember meeting this guy at Lowther fair. Brilliant show. Inspired me to get a ferret. Mine turned out to be a feret polecat cross called Hades. I don't work him but am getting a worker stock kit in the end of May/June. Looking forward it!
Summer, winter rain or shine if you have a paid job todo, you do it simple. Simon did you have much digging? I've got a perm recently and they want me to give it ago in the next few weeks it's my first permission so I wanna keep em happy lol any tips for summer time ferreting? Thanks
And there dispatched quickly and humainly
All Simons content is top notch, proper dog man aswell. I read that Tawny was in Pup some time ago did you keep one back to run on?
Having a job to do is one thing; taking pleasure from it means you are a waste of life.
All these rabbits went for human consumption, food.
@@ferretWhitehead Fair enough but I still strongly suspect that sustenance is not the primary motivation but rather fun and/or profit. You know, some people give their time to care for animals, others like to kill them. I'm grateful not to be in the latter category.
I understand how you feel and completey agree as you are entitled to have a valid opinion based on the facts. Everyone at some point just has to agree to disagree.
@@ferretWhitehead I'm aware my initial post was somewhat proactive of course. It was an interesting turn of phrase for you to say that you understand how I feel. The point is that I understand how the animals might feel! : ) It's the doing of these things for pleasure that I find hard to accept.
@@anthonyat2401 a removal of a pest that causes millions of pounds of damage a year? He does so in a safer humane and ethical manner. Go read one of his books and pass judgement then, to me this man is one the reasons I got into ferreting and love my passion.
Truly inspirational, more people should know your name
The leather from that skin should beautiful!
Wish I had some here.😢
Quick question, do you use 243 for muntjac? I know people who use 223 wanted to ask your preferred caliber for them
This is beautiful. Thank you Sir.
